You can control external midi synths with chuck, and if you are<br>
wanting more 'natural sounds' that might be worth looking in to.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, this I know.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, there are several problems, which appear by concrete example. ZynAddSubFX is a very nice and cute software synthesizer for Linux. With this, there are such sequence of problems:</div>
<div><ul><li>If I generate sound with it as-is, it will start lagging very easily - just run it, take some more complex instrument and try to play all fast tones in a row with mouse.</li><li>This means it would be helpful to have it support "-s" flag to get rid of those lags whenever I want to generate for-production sound. In my computer, ChucK is slow enough to force me listen my tracks layer-by-layer unless I write wav; sometimes I listen some things with lag or smaller sample rate.</li>
<li>Second thing is - I would like to get it's feedback to Chuck and to do it in per-sample way of Chuck, which also would need some seamless connection.</li><li>Third thing - there are many parameters in ZynAddSubFX, but I see no way to control them from Chuck; I would need to save some setup and rerun it. It should be controllable from Chuck (or something similar should be controllable). I think it's much better thing than STK.</li>
</ul><div>Btw. having "STK Demo" application to generate ChucK code for some sound would also be helpful for beginner!</div></div><div><br></div><div>This actually could be generalized to have a bigger problem:</div>
<div><ul><li>We need standard API to do the following:</li><ul><li>Ask some params from synth.</li><li>Set some params of synth.</li><li>Use a synth on sample-by-sample or chunk-by-chunk basis.</li></ul></ul></div><div><br>

also... what do you mean by 'natural sounds' ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Natural sound would be the one, which does not sound like if it was obviously generated by some digital device.</div><div><br></div>
